Dear Henry Wise Wood Families: On Monday November 9th, we encourage families to review their child's Term 1 report card by following these steps:
Remembrance Day Assembly - November 10th On the morning of Tuesday, November 10th students will be invited to the gym with their teachers to take part in honoring our Veterans. Our Remembrance Day Assembly theme this year is “The Seeds for Peace.” In a world facing ongoing conflict and uncertainty, the theme encourages us to connect the sacrifices of the past with our responsibility to build a more peaceful future. We remember the thousands of Canadians who gave their lives in service to our country and consider how the lessons of history inspire us to practice tolerance, kindness, respect, and understanding in our daily lives. We are honoured to welcome Master Corporal Ryan Preston to our ceremony and extend our sincere gratitude for his courage, service, and sacrifice. By learning from those who have served and by nurturing the values of remembrance, respect, and goodwill, we help create a future where cooperation, understanding, and peace can continue to grow. Thank you in advance to all those who have played a part in the planning of this important day.
